Just a few months ago, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan had said that he wants Gautam Gambhir to remain the mentor or coach of Kolkata Knight Riders for the next 10 years. Gautam Gambhir, who led Kolkata to IPL titles in 2012 and 2014 under his captaincy, returned to KKR after many years and this time he became the mentor and made the team champion. Looking at his close relationship with Kolkata and such a record, Shah Rukh's wish cannot be termed wrong but it could not be fulfilled because Gambhir turned down a job worth crores for the sake of Team India and now became the coach of India. After all this, when Gambhir and Shah Rukh met for the first time, that too was very special and even after separation, the same affection was seen in this relationship as it was before.

On May 26, Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 2024 title with Gautam Gambhir as the mentor. Since then, the BCCI was trying to make Gambhir the coach of Team India. Ultimately, his efforts were successful and the Indian Board broke the hearts of Shahrukh and his franchise KKR by announcing Gambhir's name on July 9.

Shahrukh and Gambhir hugged each other

Obviously, due to his close relationship with Shahrukh, Gambhir must have talked to him before taking this decision, but after leaving KKR, both the stars were seen together in public for the first time and the fans are liking its video very much. This meeting of the two took place during the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai, where Shahrukh and Gambhir hugged each other. In this meeting, the sorrow of separation from KKR was not visible, rather the color of friendship between the two was visible.
